I love the incessant need to post "boot up / startup" times. How often are you booting? At work... let's see.... maybe once per month? At home.... let's see... I use "hibernate" exclusively. It takes about 15 seconds (after the BIOS) screen until I'm ready to login -- and the computer is ready-to-use at that point, not still loading in drivers, startup items, etc.. "Hibernate" should be the default for powering off, in my opinion. So much faster -- both for shutting down and booting up.

Shall we compare *those* numbers?

Like "satin sheets", you mean? I get you...

I've got a quad-core AMD box from Acer sitting under my desk as we speak (type). Although it has performed somewhat admirably, it has also featured some very funky quirks -- like freezing for a few moments when I open particular media files/applications. Never had another computer do that, and this is after multiple OSes, different harddrive, etc..

It's very strange, and I'm chomping at the bit to move along from this machine. I was taken in by Acer's low price, but I don't think I'd recommend their stuff at this point.

Shouldn't it read: "Two Games Included For Free"? I mean, including "two free games" isn't much of a boon, is it?

The Youtube link, for those of you who (like me) prefer NOT to install Quicktime...

Stupid comment system.

Yeah. What's that all about?

Probably the vest.
